🔊 "Do no harm. Whatever you do always think of the patient and think that you are not harming them, you are helping them." - Prof. Griffin

During the event on #cancerscreening hosted by MEP Romana Jerković, Prof. Griffin gave an amazing talk on the recommendations from the our report on cancer screening ( 🔗 sapea.info/cancer).

For those who missed the event, you're in luck - you can still rewatch the talk by clicking on this link https://lnkd.in/ep4YXxkm .

If it’s true, this is HUGE. #cancerscreening

6/6 None of this is helped by the fact that I’m still healing from last week’s colposcopy/biopsies. My family doesn’t know that happened (my partner does). Navigating medical events in this family is a minefield (although seemingly only for me). If it turns out to be something, then I’ll tell them. But for now, I’m just exhausted and scared and sore and bleeding and healing, and my fuse is just a little bit shorter than it normally is. So I’m struggling.

New strategy- just sleep through as much of the next few days as possible. Trying to give that good ol’ #EDS “poor wound healing” as much help as possible.

I turned 53 recently. I’ve managed to put off the dreaded 50 year old invasive examination for a couple of years, but I’m staring it in the face. My appointment is early Monday morning. Saturday and Sunday are going to royally suck as I rid my digestive system of virtually everything. The national championship game is Monday night. I should be mostly back to normal with a full belly as it gets going. #CancerScreening #GettingOld #Anesthesia

Want to know what #healthcare is like in #Ontario right now? I found a lump in my breast in September. It's been over 2 months since my #mammogram & my doctor still doesn't have the results. I really want to thank the 57% of eligible voters who didn't bother to show up & vote in June & instead let less than 18% of the population decide the future of our province. Your inaction will literally kill people.

Globally, in 2020 there were estimated 1,047,000 of orphans because of female cancer death. Nearly half of them were largely preventable such as breast or cervical cancer, and most occurred in Asia and Africa. We must do better than that #EndCancer #CancerScreening
